After about 2 months of shopping around and research to find the right 2008 Corvette for the best condition and price, I finally found "the one" listed on Nelson Automotive's website. I called and spoke with Matt V., and he gave me a detailed service and ownership history of the car. I felt confident that this was the right car and from the right dealer. Throughout the entire process Matt was honest and always gave me the time of day; I never felt rushed on the phone or in person. When I bought the car, I drove up from Indianapolis to pick up the car and it was apparent that the Corvette was a prized car on the lot, there were not as many other sports cars, but all cars looked to be nicely kept and cleaned. I didn't feel like it was a risk to buy a sports car from the Nelson Automotive lot, if anything I probably saved money due to not having to pay an additional markup from a performance-oriented lot. My actual time at Nelson Automotive was brief: Matt arrived early to the dealership to accommodate my schedule, even though he had plans for brunch with his in-laws later that morning. We took the car out for a test drive, talked a bit more about the history of the car, and the minor normal maintenance work they had done to make sure they sold me the car in excellent condition. I was thrilled when I got the keys. The paperwork took probably 10 minutes and I was on my way. The car rode like a dream. About 30 minutes from home, the clutch pressure went out and I had to have the car towed the rest of the way home. I took it to a shop and they determined the slave cylinder went out, and that it would be 2 hours of labor plus the cost of the part. I called Nelson Automotive, we were all shocked since this car drove fine. Matt took this information to his boss, and they worked with me on the issue: they refunded me with the cost of the part that I paid for, as well as the cost of the labor to have it replaced. Normally I would've expected that I would've needed to have the car brought back to Nelson Automotive's shop to have the work done in-house, but they took care of the issue in a way that was convenient for me. Overall, I was very pleased with the way they handled what was an unexpected post-purchase issue. I've now had the Corvette for exactly one year, and it's been a the best car I've ever owned. I've received so many comments on how great of a condition the car is in, and that it must have been well taken care of. I always tell them about my experience with Matt at Nelson Automotive, and I know where my first stop will be when we purchase another car.

Great daily driver for Colorado roads

It’s been a great car. I’ve had minimal problems with reliability. All of which have been fixed/addressed by Subaru without any further problems. With good all season or winter tires this car handles great in the snow. The car has more than enough power for the average drive, and I am getting about 32 mpg on average. The interior is nice and simple. The entertainment and navigation could be designed a little better. They are somewhat over complicated and it’s often easier to get out your phone for the navigation.
The exterior design of this gen of Subaru wrx looks good but it could have been better. To me it looks more like a Toyota Corolla then a sports car. Overall the car has been a great daily driver.

My daughter purchased a Mazda from Napleton's Mazda right next door. The location is convenient to my home and after researching Subaru vehicles, I decided to visit here. I was pleasantly surprised to see people remembered both my daughter and I (I accompanied her when she purchased her vehicle and she accompanied me on my purchase). My experience was pleasant and the staff here are very willing to listen to what you are looking for and work through cost with you. I am pleased with my purchase in every way!

Wow...but not a daily driver

This car is built for performance. Technology inside sucks, interior design lacking, and not comfortable at all. However, this car is very fun to drive. I have the 6 speed manual transmission which makes the driving experience that much better . Although if you are stuck in traffic or going through many traffic lights this car will tire you out. Buy this vehicle as a fun project car, but not as a daily driver.
